I hope you guys enjoy :)
I didn't land in Philly until about three in the morning, knowing Sara would be asleep, like pick up my every other normal person, so I had to wake her up. I pulled out my phone while walking to get my bags from baggage claim. She didn't pick up so I just kept calling until she did. When she finally answered I had already gotten a cab and was placing my bags in the trunk.
"What the fuck, Lexi? It's fucking almost four in the morning."
"Hello to you too. WHat are you doing?"
"DO you serious have to ask? I was sleeping."
"But you're not anymore so keep it that way so you can open me the door."
"WHat are you talking about?"
"I'm off for the next two days so I decided to pay my bestest friend a visit."
"I would be happy if I didn't want to strangle you right now."
"Aww, you're so sweet. I'll be there within thirty minutes."
A somewhat short cab ride later, I was walking up the stairs to the apartment I used to share with my bestfriend Sara after she buzzed me into the building. I knocked on the door and Sara quickly opened it, helping me with my bags and taking them to the now spare bedroom that used to be mine. After she put them down at the foot of the bed, she turned around and gave mea huge bear hug that I returned without hesitation.
"Still wanna strangle me?" I asked as we pulled away.
"Yeah, but the overwhelming feeling of seeing my bestfriend after all the months is outweighing the feeling to strangle you."
"Good."
We then agreed to get a few more hours of sleep and pick this reunion right backup at a decent time. I pulled my phone charger from one of my bags and plugged it into the wall socket. Before I turned off my phone, I saw that I had a text from Jon.
'Hope you got there safe. Say hi to Sara for me.'
I decided to text him back.
'Just got to the apartment we used to share and she doesn't know you. WHy would I tell her you said hi? You don't even know here either so no.'
I put my phone down and was going to change into my pjs not expecting him to text me back when my phone started to vibrate which could only mean that someone was calling me. I checked the screen, it was Jon. I debated on answering him or not.
"FUck it," I said before answering it. "Yes Jon."
"That last text reeked of jealousy."
"First of all, I'm not jealous at all. Second of all, why are you still up? Don't you and the guys have flights to catch in the morning?"
"Why are you so interested in my sleeping habits?"
"Why are you turning this around on me?"
"Speaking of that, I would love to turn you around and-"
"JON! Listen, I have been flying all night and I am tired."
"Then go to sleep."
"Goodbye Jon." I hung up the phone and threw it down on the bed. I quickly changed into nothing but an oversized Philly's Flyers Tshirt. Tonight I was not on the road and was not sharing a room with my annoying, and rather attractive, teammate. WHich meant I didn't have to worry about covering myself up. I slipped under the covers and was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
I was woken up by yelling. Well, to be more specific, I was woken up by Sara's yelling. I was about to drag my ass out of bed and storm out into the livingroom so I can tell Sara to shut the hell up when I heard another voice. A much lower, deeper voice. Instead of storming out, I placed my ear to the door to see if I could get a better listen.
"Sara, please. It's been a month. I've learned my lesson babe, I swear. Can I come back?" It was Ricky, Sara's cheating ex.
"Are you serious? I told you from the day we met that if you fuck up just one time, then I'm done. That's it , it's over!" Yelled Sara.
I was debating on whether or not I should go out there to show Sara that I had her back. I decided to slip on sweats and a bra just incase.
"I've texted everyday, called you everyday. I've sent I don't even know how many flowers. WHat else do you want?"
I then heard a loud crash, instinctively I opened my door and ran out to Sara. Ricky had thrown a glass vase that contained pink roses, Sara's favorite flower, across the room. Once Ricky saw me standing right next to Sara, his face softened a bit.
"Hi, Alexis." He said, taking a step back.
"Leave Ricky. I don't want you texting me or calling me or sending me any of your gifts. I'm done with you. Contact me one more time and I'll file a restraining order, try me." Sara pushed him out of the apartment and slammed the door. She took a deep breath before turning around to me.
"Why did you even let him in?" I asked.
"The person said delivery so I thought it was the florist guy delivering more roses to me."
Sara then went into the kitchen to get the dust pan and broom to seep up the broken glass.
"Do you want me to save the flowers?" I asked, carefully maneuvering myself so I didn't cut my feet on the glass.
"No, throw those shits away." She said.
I finished gathering up all the roses and threw them in the trash while she finished sweeping up the glass.
"Well, that was an interesting start to the day." I said.
"I'm sorry. Did you at least get some sleep before the shouting match?"
"O yeah. I knocked out as soon as I layed down lastnight. I want to hit the gym before I eat anything. Wanna come with?" I asked.
"Why not? I'll change real quick."
Three hours later, Sara and I were sitting at a Denny's close to the apartment waiting for our food to arrive. After the gym, we headed back to shower and get dressed, then decided to eat some breakfast here.
"So, how is life with the WWE?" Asked Sara.
"Crazy. I love it and it's what I always wanted to do since I was a little girl. The travel is the insane part. Before I was signed I was terrified eveytime I got on an airplane, now it's like second nature."
"How's the sex life?"
I rolled my eyes. "Non existent." Sara threw her straw at me. "What?"
"I've seen the guys you team with and they are fucking hot, don't tell me they aren't."
"Yeah, ok, they're cute but that doesn't mean I'm fucking them."
"I know that, but it means that you are not limited in your dick resources."
Our food arrived and we started digging in. I didn't say anything until I was half way through with my stack of pancakes. "First of all, Seth has a girlfriend. He's been with her for almost eight years. Reigns has a fiance and a little girl with said fiancé so that's that."
"What about the blue-eyed white boy?" She asked while taking a sip of her coffee.
"What about him?" I asked while averting eye contact.
"Did I hit a nerve?" She asked jokingly.
"No. He's single but I've known him since the indies and let's just say he has had a fair share of the female population."
"O, he's a whore."
"Exactly."
"Somethings up though," she says with curiosity in her eyes. "Tell me, now."
"There's nothing to tell. He flirts a lot and says a bunch of stupid sexual shit to get under my skin."
"And?"
I sighed, finally caving in. "And I think I want some of him."
"HA! I knew it. You want to jump his bones."
"Yeah but I work with him almost every single day, along two other guys and I don't shit to get awkward. Plus, he does not do relationships at all."
"The do a relationship, just do him."
"What if it's not just sex I want from him. What if I start to like him and all that crap?"
"Well, it's only up to you if you want to take that risk."
We finished our breakfast and decided that we were going to go out tonight with some of the girls from Sara's work.
When we arrived back at the apartment, we both took our time getting ready. Since I didn't have anything but my ring gear, a few pairs of jeans, shirts, and some hoodies, Sara suggested I better borrow something of hers. I chose a red dress that clinged to my body alittle more than I would have liked. It landed at the middle of my thigh and had my breasts spilling out at the top which meant I had to put on my red lace bra so as not to make it that noticeable. The sleeves were lace and I borrowed a pair of all black pumps. I curled my hair and did a smoky eye with a nude lip for my makeup. One thing about Sara, she has amazing clothes and amazing makeup. I loved how I looked and decided to take a few selfies for myself.
Sara opted for a light blue cocktail dress that also went to her mid-thigh with black pumps. She decided to do a grey base eyeshadow with nude lips. Her hair was straight and curled only at the ends. She had called her two friends Michelle and Taylor who met us outside of the apartment and all four walked just a few minutes to a restaurant downtown called La Bella Muerte. It was a darker themed restaurant with portraits on the wall of beautiful women dead and bleeding. Sara's friend Michelle had suggested it since her boyfriend was the manager and co-owner. Because of that connection, we were quickly seated and ordered our drinks. For an added bonus, our meals and drinks were comped. I ordered a Bloody Mary. Once the drinks came, we ordered our food which was four orders of lasagna and a house salad to split among all of us.
As I was drinking my Bloody Mary, the girls were talking amongst eachother. I'm extremely introverted around people I don't know and since I had never met Sara's friends, I was mostly just zoning in and out. Our food came and I ordered my second Bloody Mary. We all ate and I slowly started to involve myself into the conversations. Maybe it was because I was growing more comfortable around these new girls or maybe it was because the Bloody Mary's were getting to me. Either way it was starting to feel like a really goodnight. As we finished up our meals and I almost finished my third Bloody Mary, the girls decided it was time for a bathroom break before heading over to the club. I tagged along because after three Bloody Mary's I needed one.
I was the first one to finish so I yelled out to them that I would wait for them outside. When I stepped outside I shivered aliitle. It was a crisp night but tolerable.
"Lexi? Is that you?" I heard someone yell from behind me. While I turned around, I was thinking who in the hell would it was. Then, I saw who had called out to me and I felt my stomach drop. It was David.
I couldn't say anything, I couldn't even believe my luck was this shitty. As he got closer and closer to me, I could feel myself becoming the girl he made me into. A weak, self-destructive, scared girl.
""I never would have thought I would see you here in Philly again. Did you miss me?" He asked with a signature smirk of his own. It wasn't like Deans. Deans smirk made me want him, Davids smirk made me fear him. Before I could answer, move, or let out the breath I was holding in ever since I turned around and saw his face, I saw Michelle walk up to him and wrap her arms around his waist. "Hey baby, I was wondering when you were finally going to show up. This is Alexis, she's a friend of the girl I work with, Sara."
I liked how this chapter came out and I hope you guys do to. Already working on the next chapter. Tell me what you think, your reviews are awesome :)
